Karl
Marx and Alienation[
send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the ideas and ideals
of Karl Marx as they relate to alienation. Karl
Marx spent his entire life working for revolution,
in the midst of a revolutionary situation, and he
was attempting to build a modern form of political
and cultural organization that would further his
aims. The basis of Marx’s view of contemporary
society lay in his criticism of the accumulation
of capital and the ways in which it alienated
people from one another. He was thoroughly
convinced that capitalism was economically and
politically nonviable and it was certain to
ultimately cause the development of the
revolutionary forces that would overthrow it.

Karl
Marx and Alienation Compared to John Stuart Mill
and Liberty[
send me this essay ]
This 8 page report discusses Karl Marx’s
attitudes regarding alienation and John Stuart
Mill’s theory of liberty. Karl Marx’s primary
dictum, reduced in the most simplistic of terms,
was that all events are determined by economic
forces. Marx was always well-aware that it was not
the working class but the middle class that drove
history along its ever-progressing path. That
reality results in a fundamental sense of
alienation. John Stuart Mill believes that it is
“the business of ethics” to underscore or
illustrate what any person’s actual duties are
and in what way those duties define individual
freedom. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Marx and Immanuel Kant[

This 5 page report discusses the philosophers Karl
Marx (1818-1883) and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804).
Simplistically reduced, Marx held to the

economic forces. Marx was always well-aware that
it was not the working class but the middle class
that drove history along its ever-progressing
path. Immanuel Kant believed individual thought to
be the framework by which the individual was able
to determine the appropriate category into which
one thought process or pattern would fit over
another. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

historical materialism encapsulates much of what Marx

A
Liberal Marxist’s View of Internet Gambling[
send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses international Internet
gambling in the context of thinking exercised by a liberal
Marxist. The traditional Marxist viewpoint follows the
original thinking of Karl Marx that all events in human
society are determined by economic forces. Marx’s
ultimate goal was to liberate the world from the evil of
acquisitive materialism and lead the human race to a new
freedom. He saw humans as unable to overcome greed. And
certainly, greed plays an important role in gambling.
Therefore, a liberal Marxist is likely to find him/herself
in the unusual position of siding with ultra-conservatives
and the religious right regarding international Internet
gambling. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

ideals are captured in one of his most famous works “Das
Kapital.” Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Modern attacks on religion, as presented by Karl Marx,

belief that the rational, or scientific, method of
explanation is superior to, and may totally negate, the

maintains that it is within the power of 'the people' to
take control of the power structure controlling profits of
owners at the expense of workers. However, Marx's 'the
people' is little more than a euphemism for the state, the
Big Brother of which Orwell so chillingly wrote. Chomsky
espouses the same general attitude, but on a greatly
expanded scale: multinational corporations are the owners
of production; the people of Third World nations are those
exploited and abused. He allows no credit for those people
having intelligence of their own and the power to control
their own destinies. It is the Smith model that survives
as the most legitimate. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
